Isn't the create() call propagated from parent to child?

In fact, if I add some debugging code to DialogTester#create:

def create
     super
     puts "FOO"
     show(PLACEMENT_SCREEN)
   end
end

then I see FOO on stdout when the main window appears.

I'll bet you could verify that FXTestDialog#create is being called, too.
